Hi Edward and John,

I had tried the AfterRowColChange method of modifying the SelStart
property, but that does not work either.

Any other suggestions ?

Edward, I am interested in your suggestion to use two Edit Boxes.
How would that work exactly ?

Thanks.
Michel.

>You have Grid.Before/AfterRowColChange events to reliably discern between row and column changes. To move insertion point to needed position you may reset Editbox.SelStart property. Also, it seems to me that you may want to use two editboxes for each column (just to move pointer to start only in active row).
